Are there any fighters in history you think could beat a prime Roy Jones?

I think Tarver would always have given Roy trouble with his style. But seeing as though Roy beat him whilst being exhausted after dropping back from HW at 34, you would have had to have favoured Roy when he was prime.

 

yeah, fought glen kelly coming off a victory over a 15-23 jami wallace. no way he could have found a better opponent.

 

roy was gifted a win. tarver is older than roy too.

 

Glen Kelly was a MANDATORY.

What happened later on in the same year?

He signed to fight John Ruiz.

 

lmao. bum city

 

He wasn't gifted anything.

Go and watch the fight again.

Buddy McGirt was shouting at Tarver in the corner, demanding to know why his instructions hadn't been carried out. And Tarver was just sat on his stool looking despondent.

It was a close fight, but Roy won clearly.

 

thats why roy made a crapload of excuses.

 

What are you talking about you fool?

You're complaining of how he fought low level mandatories, yet you weren't satisfied with him fighting a top 10 ranked HW instead?

Are you for real?

 

Why are you even debating?

You are clueless.

You have no knowledge of Roy's career.

 

derrick harmon got his shot fresh off a gallant victory over 11-23-8 wesley martin. smh

 

whatever clown.

 

clinton woods got his shot after beating 9-11-1 clint johnson, way to pick the cream of the crop roy.

 

julio cesar gonzalez never had beaten anyone decent to get a fight with roy

 

richard hall was a bum killer in order to get his shot at roy.

 

david telesco never beat anyone decent in order to get his shot. man, the resume is actually really sad.
